Denise is so awesome at what she does! The prenatal sessions that my husband and I had with her really established our relationship and set the stage for the unmediated vaginal birth I hoped to have as a first time mother. She helped us understand what to expect whether things went the way we wanted or something unexpected came up.
When I started having contractions and my water broke, she was available by phone and highly communicative throughout the night and early morning, which was invaluable in helping me stick to the plan of laboring at home for as long as possible.
At the hospital she was instrumental in helping me manage my contractions with different positions, proper breathing, a TENS unit, and massage techniques. She also had a great rapport with the nurses and the doctor, who were pretty hands off until it came time for the final pushes.
All in all, I had an amazing birth experience with Denise’s expert guidance. My husband and I are so happy that we chose Denise as our doula and would definitely do it again.
